Don't let any opportunity pass to say a good word for it. In this way much benefit will result and the people of the town brought into closer relations for their own good in every way. T here is every indication that Con gress will make an official investigation of the Post Office Department. Presi dent Roosevelt is said to favor it and to advise the appointment by Congress of a commission which will make a public investigation similar to that carriod out by the famous Lexow com mittee, which made such a thorough exposure of the corruption in the New Yorn city government. T he Southern Pacific is to follow the example of the |New York Central and curtail expenses by laying off em ployes. The Harriman lines are pre paring to reduce* their force by 1200 men immediately. The chief cuts will be made in the shops, but there will be retrenchment and economy all along the line. T he use by dairymen of “preserva tives” to prevent milk from souring is believed to be common. It is more or less hurtful to consumers, according to the chemical used for the purpose. At Seattle the other day the death of an infant was traced to the use of form aldehyde. This powerful germicide is much used by embalmers and for gen eral disinfecting purposes, but it is a dangerous poison in any article of food. Dairymen guilty of putting such stuff in milk richly deserve the halter. S ilver is steadily advancing in price The Treasury Department has pur chased 1,000,000 ounces of silver bullion for delivery at the San Francisco mint for the Philippine coinage at 60.125 cents per ounce, the highest price that has yet been paid. The New York market for silver reflects the price es tablished in London, where the market has been strong for several months, the advance being attributed in great measure to demand from India and to purchases by the United States govern ment for the Philippine account. T he United States census for 1900 finds 3536 persons in the United States who are 100 or more years of age. The value of these figures may be question ed and perhaps may be best estimated by the fact that 72.8 per cent of the whole number are negroes, many of whom have no reliable evidence as to the date of their birth. They are but 11 per cent of tho total population. It seems improbable, too, that this coun try should have over 3500, when Ger many, with a population of nearly 55,- 000,000, has only 778and England, with 32,000,000, only 146, and France with 40,000,000 has only 213. Let« Prisoner« Out to A ote Hi« ’R and Iniprinona Good Indian« to Keep Them From Votinar—A Per sonal Appointee of the President. Dawe« Commission Qole*cent. The scandals in the interior depart ment have led to tbe nrrest of Benja min II. Colbert. United States mar- >hal for tbe Indian Territory. Benja min was a member of that immortal (quad of rough riders and was tho or derly who attended the strenuous movements of Colonel Roosevelt. The name of Colbert would possibly never have been otherwise enrolled on the scroll of fame if Colonel Roosevelt had not accidentally been promoted to be president of the United States. The president has an enormous patronage to distribute, aud as the politicians dic tate to him nearly all the appointments In the states and as most of the ap pointees are notoriously unfit and many of them corrupt and incompetent the president took the bit in bis mouth when it caine to making selections for the territories. He wished to give the politicians of his party au example of the class of men he would select If he were left untrammeled by tbe Itepub- lican wire pullers. To do thls Presl- deut Roosevelt had to turn down Colo- nel John S. Hammer, who was the United States marshal appointed by President McKinley, a Grand Army man and Indorsed by all the leading Republicans of the territory for ap pointment But the personal selection of the pres ident has turned out to be no better, if not worse, than those of Senators Hanna. Quay, Platt and the other Re publican spoilsmen, for while the ma jority of the appointees of those worthies have so far succeeded in keep ing out of the clutches of the law the personal appointee of the president is in limbo charged with many crimes and misdemeanors. The New York Post thus enumerates them: “This official is accused of using his power for political purposes. Letting prisoners out of Jail that they might vote was one of his pleasing pastimes, imprisoning Indians for not voting ac cording to bis wishes was another.” But the strenuousness of Benjamin is hardly to be wondered at. His edu cation in Cuba and the Philippines has together taught bis ill balanced mind that Indians and Filipinos have no rights that a white man like Benjamin is bound to respect and that laws are made but to be broken when it suits the whim or policy of those in author ity. He had seen Colonel Roosevelt and others sign a round robin in Cuba which transgressed the articles of war and would have been followed by court martial if the politicians who were responsible had cared to order an investigation. General Alger at that time was on too thin ice to be sure of bls footing, and tbe round robin was passed over with a reprimand. “Words are good when backed by deeds and only ao.” and Benjamin was trying to carry out this precept of his benefactor by interpreting it to suit the strenuous times in Indian Terri tory. Being evidently in league with the “land ring.” it was necessary to carry the election there at all cosL The bad Indians in jail he let out to vote tbe way he wanted them to. Tbe good Indians, who were intent on voting to save their land, which interfered with the purposes of the land robbers to •teal IL were shut up In prison to pre vent them from voting. What a distorted view of tbe justice of Uncle Sam the white and red in habitants of the Indian Territory must have when the United States marshal who is chief of police of the territory, the friend and personal appointee of the president, does such deeds as these! And tbe Dawes commission looked on with their hands folded behind them, ready to receive their share of the reward, and they still hold office by the grace of President Roosevelt. No wonder the cry goes up from the Indian Territory, “Turn the rascals out!” En*lawd and Ruaala. A ccording to the reported annua expenses of the Sultan of Turkey he must be a “good fellow.” It is estimat ed that bis expenses are *430,000,000. Of this *7,500,000 alone is spent on the clothing of the women and *400,000 on the sultan’s own wardrobe. Nearly another *7,500,000 is swallowedup by presents, *5,000,000 goes for pocket money, and still another *5,000,000 for the table. It seems incredible that so much money can possibly be spent in a year by one man; but when it Is re membered that some 1,500 people re side within the palace walls, and live luxuriously and dress expensively at the cost of the civil list, it appears a little more comprehensible. His ex penses and cussedness go hand-in-hand. T he Department of Commerce and labor could be made one of the most valuable departments in the govern mentin connection with the consular service. If politics were kept out of the consular service and men were se lected for foreign missions for their fit ness, instead of their pull, it would mean the introduction of American manufactures into every quarter of the world. Il American consuls were familiar with the customs and language of the people and country to which they were sent, and then would spend their time helping the department of com merce introduce our products among strangers, the consular service would answer some of the purposes intended. England educates young men for this service, and places them where their education best fits them, and through this wise policy has held the commer cial supremacy of the world for cen turies. Instead of picking up worn-out politicians, whose usefulness at home has passed away, and sending them out to the g reat cities of the world to spend their terms In idleness or pleasure seek ing, if the United States would select vigorous young men for these stations —young men who would make friends for the country and furnish informa tion by which American products could be sent into the remotest corner of the world, this country would wed herself to the foreign races by creating a demand for her progressive Ideas. Politics and partlsanlsm at home has done more to cripple tbe United States by holding back development than all ^ter outside foes combined. The American Economist the organ of our protected manufacturers, gives much space to the protectionist speech es of Hon. Joseph Chamberlain of Eng land. “British free trade,” it says, “ha« resulted in a terrible burden of poverty crushing the people.” Perhaps. But no one in or out of England will assert that conditions in England have been as bad at any time since “pro tection” was discarded as before. Nor will any one with a reputation to lose assert that conditions In free trade England are not far better than in any of the highly protected countries of Europe. Look at Russia, which has within fifteen years become perhaps the most highly protected country in Europe. Conditions there are wretched. Tbe people are starving by thousands. Wages are very low, *4 to *6 a month for men in protected mills. An article in tbe Washington Post of Aug. 22 says that “during the month of July 200 men were killed aud 2,000 wounded during the labor disturbances in Rus sia" and that “the sailors and stokers of the Russian Trading and Steam Navigation company at Odessa, who recently struck, were receiving ouly *6 and a month respectively."
